Affordable Fixer-Upper Near Unzen's Volcanic Hot Springs
According to the agent's notes, the property requires significant renovation. Due to its location backing onto a wooded mountain, the entire building suffers from humidity, with visible corrosion on the walls and floors. The facilities include a separate bath and toilet, water supply, a septic tank (汲取), propane gas, and other drainage. The property is noted to be within a 24-minute walk (approx. 1.9km) of the Obama General Branch Office and a 24-minute walk (approx. 2km) of the famous Unzen Jigoku (Unzen Hell) hot springs. By car, Unzen Nita Pass is about 16 minutes away (approx. 8.5km), Obama Elementary School is about 20 minutes (approx. 12.6km), and Obama Junior High School is about 16 minutes (approx. 10.6km).
The area is renowned for the Unzen hot spring resort, just a 5-minute drive away, where the smell of sulfur and steam from the volcanic "hells" fills the air. The property is also close to Mount Unzen, offering the chance to enjoy hiking through the beautiful seasons. A fascinating local fact is that the Unzen volcanic area, now a national park, was the site of a major eruption in the early 1990s, which led to the creation of a new lava dome. The closest major landmark is the dramatic and steamy Unzen Jigoku (Unzen Hell) hot spring fields, a major tourist attraction.
